England's Lionesses have won Euro 2022 after beating Germany 2-1 in extra-time at Wembley.
In central London, there were huge celebrations in Trafalgar Square. Horns sounded and chants of"it's coming home" could be heard.
It is the second successive title for manager Sarina Wiegman, who led the Dutch to victory in the tournament in 2017.Former England international Gary Neville tweeted that the Lionesses' victory was a"seismic moment for sport in this country".The number of fans at Wembley to see the Lionesses' victory was 87,192 - a UEFA Euro tournament record.
Germany suffered a major blow before kick off when their captain and striker, Alexandra Popp, was injured in the warm-up and had to pull out. England made a bright start with Lauren Hemp leading the attack with pace and precision down the left hand side.
